lol well that's cool dude. By ruckus I didn't mean I would go in there and raise hell screaming and throwing **** and BTW last time this happened they did give me a new phone. Theres no abusing here. You just need to chillthefuckout.

And me flashing this wasn't stupidity. This isn't my first rodeo buddy.

Lol that really worked? Guess I'll try anything at this point lol.
[Captivate General] nybmx:
Not trying to be a downer but it won't work in your situation. As stated above your only hope is a riff box. I was in your exact situation and tried every button combination under the sun for hours upon hours.
[Captivate General] Burstaholic:
Yikes. I've recovered from the 'phone + computer' screen before, but that sounds like a whole different level.

Good luck.
[Captivate General] Aron1980:
I bricked mine with no power after doing a odin flash to stock and a master clear. I just got it from the warranty dept because of the shutdown thing. Should I try to call them again and say it got bricked over the official froyo update?
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Didn't it come from the warranty dept. with 2.2? They usually flash it for you when you said in your device for service, and anything they send out as a replacement always has the latest version..
[Captivate General] Aron1980:
I got it a few days before froyo came out, so i had 2.1
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
it's worth a shot
[Captivate General] Aron1980:
I just got my new phone, but I noticed that my battery was permanently drained when I bricked my old one. Seems strange. So it's charging now, maybe I can still unbrick the old one....
[Captivate General] tbong777:
Have to agree with this...Everyone else pays more because a few DB's won't take responsibility for their Screw ups.

I hope Samsung and ATT finds an easy way to determine if phones have been hacked and charge those returning them for a replacement or a service charge to "fix" the blown up devices..

I think that's fair. I bricked my phone an bought a jig. But I am fully prepared to replace it or pay for Service to get it working again if I should brick it and cannot fix it myself. I don't buy ripoff phone insurance. Never have and am waaaay ahead there.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Maybe I'm just not understanding what the problem is, but I fail to see how it costs Samsung extra to flash a new firmware onto a device that was bricked by a custom rom over a device that was bricked by their official update. They don't send you a new phone when you send it in for service (unless you damaged the hardware components, in which case they WILL charge you for it), they literally hook it up to their own proprietary jtag unit, hit a button and disconnect it a few seconds later when the new firmware is flashed. The technical staff that do this work are going to be employed and paid regularly, regardless of if the phone they're reflashing had a custom firmware or not. It's not like they pay these guys per phone, or lay them off until a legit one comes along.

I also fail to see how possibly paying more for their technical staff directly increases the cost of their future devices. I was under the impression that the cost is determined by the price of the components and manufacturing, cost of marketing, desired profit margins, store markup if you buy it off contract, and by how big of a subsidy the carrier will give if you get it on contract. I'm pretty sure the cost of sufficiently maintaining a tech department fits in to the 'desired profit margin' category, but I don't think it has the impact you think it does on the price of the end product.

That being said, I do not advocate anyone bullying employees when they refuse a free replacement or repair for YOUR mistake. If you're on here, you know the risks, and Samsung is under no obligation to give you anything for free once you've violated their terms of acceptable usage.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I bought my Cappy new in December. I'm now on my third because the new one and the refurbished replacement both had random shutdown issues. I now have another refurbished phone that is also in the IMEI range of the affected phones with shutdown issues. Only two months from buying a brand new phone I am now stuck with a used one that may or may not have the same problem. I have no sympathy for Samsung or AT$T.:mad:
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Yeah, no kidding. I can understand being angry that people are trying to give individual ATT/Samsung employees a hard time in order to get what they want, but it completely mystifies me why anyone would defend a multinational corporation over a few bricked phones.. the very same company that sold 10+ million phones with a defective gps, promised a fix, then months later released a non-fix that blames the customer and resets the gps settings back to their broken defaults, all without ever even issuing an apology (or an apology or fix for the countless other problems with the Galaxy S line).

They've made enough profit by fooling people into buying their phone with promises of updates and fixes that they can easily swallow the cost of reflashing and shipping bricked devices.
[Captivate General] captivated1971:
Damn ! Lol thats harsh get down on at&t for the crappy phone to have to have to replace becuz u were trying to put better software on it ,to make it work properly.
[Captivate General] ih4ckback:
lol if Samsung decides to charge me for something then I'll be glad to pay. I'm not abusing anyone, ATT or Samsung.
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
Dont feel bad I'm in the same boat. I just ordered an inspire 4g tonight due to the same issue. I have a jig that puts it into d/l mode but won't do anything after that. It just gets stuck while running odin and them the screen goes black.

I might try to get mine fixed by someone to have it when I get bored or brick the htc.lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmerega:
Hi all, I would like to check if my internal storage is really EXT4.

I tried fstab, but it is not implemented on Android.

How can I do?

Thx
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Use the "mount" command from the terminal or adb shell.

Output will look like the code below. I've highlighted some of the filesystem types for clarity.

As you can see, it's actually a mixture of ext4 and yaffs2; no nasty RFS like other Galaxy S phones.

What makes you think you're not on ext4?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiemac1977:
darn your quicker than me, was just hunting through the forums for the post with the different partitions and their filesystems on, find it and come back to paste and BOOM, distorted loop is on the case heheh.

Ths for beating me to it :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmerega:
Ok, looks like it is both yaffs2 and Ext4. Right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Oops! If I'd known you were on the case... LOL.

I guess typing mount in my adb shell is quicker than form searching. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yes. /cache & /efs are yaffs2 /system & /data are ext4. sdcard is vfat.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmerega:

[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
well i found many posts on people showing there backgrounds with downloads and stuff but they never explain how to install or use them. i was wondering if anyone know a post to re direct me to or website that could help me install them. or just tell me here if you feel like it.

(on the side note can the Zio even use animated backgrounds?)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
ya, they are called live wallpapers and there is a whole mess of them on the market. As far as installing, they install the same way everything from the market does. When you want to use them click the "menu" and then "wallpaper" and choose "live wallpapers" from the list. Ther is also a website where you can surf these wall papers.

http://www.livewallpapers.org/?sort=popular
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
heay thanks. i have downloaded a wallpaper that i liked and installed it but i cant seem to find it to run it. there is nothing in the wallpaper section. what should i do now?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] option94:
dont quote me, might be different on this phone and I dont have one,

long press home screen > wallpapers > live wallpapers.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
this is very odd. when i go to my menu and hit wallpaper only 3 things show up Gallery/ID Wallpapers/Wallpapers and they arnt in any of them.

Its weird because i did install them just fine but they don't seem to be anywhere on the phone?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] option94:
That is odd, and thats the only way I know of to activate them. Someone else who actually has the phone will have to help you, sorry about that.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
ah its cool. at least you tried! (thanks + to you for helping me)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
You should have live wallpapers. They were preloaded on the 2.2 update. You may have to redo the update.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
oh are you kidding me? my update is botched!?? i didnt update when the download came out on this website i waited till my carrier (sprint) rolled it out. it went through ever step itself so i dont know what could have gone wrong. Do you have sprint or some other carrier?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
Of course Sprint might not have included the live wallpapers in their update.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] option94:
Thats almost impossible. They would have to write out the api. I dont think they would waste their time.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I could backup the live wallpapers.apk and you could try to install it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
sure i don't mind trying it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idanrm:
Hi,

I need to root my device (Galaxy S I9000 International) to do a simple replace for a file in an app's directory. Then I want my device to be unrooted. My ROM is stock. My device runs Froyo 2.2 . Is there a safe way to root my device and then unroot it? (without having to risk my phone or having to backup and do full factory restore?)

I was looking for an answer in the FAQ, but haven't found & I'm not sure it is updated.

Thank you very much.
[General Questions and Answers] mojo-chan:
I was going to post in the Galaxy S GPS fix thread but can't due to having a low post count. Anyway, I have a Galaxy S and sure enough the GPS is useless without a data connection to assist it.

It is totally broken, even outdoors it sometimes gets up to 7 satellites but never locks on. I am overseas at the moment and data is incredibly expensive but it looks like there is no other option :-(

Is that correct? Is my phone basically useless as a navigation device without a data plan?
[General Questions and Answers] mojo-chan:
Okay, for anyone who finds this thread here is what I have discovered. Basically the GPS requires some assistance to get a lock. If you take it too far from where it was last locked (I am the other side of the planet but I hear 25+ miles can be a problem) it just will not lock unless you leave it for a very very long time to re-download data from the satellites.

The only way to speed this up is to get a data connection. Wifi will do. Once it has the data for your part of the world it should lock fairly quickly (<1 minute). In order to keep it working you can just keep the GPS on as much as possible. With mobile data turned off battery life is about 5x normal anyway.

Thanks in advance
[A7 General] jetracers:
While playing Pandora this weekend the speaker on the right side of the device quit working, when it first happened I gave it a little tap with my finger and it tried to come back on. So my question is has anyone else had issues with speakers quitting and second how hard is it to take this unit apart so i can check for a loose connection before I have to send it back.

J
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
What ROM are you running?

My guess is ElocityMod 1.3 and using DSP Manager to crank the volume up a little higher.

Did you notice any distortion before the speaker bought the farm?

If my guess was correct, the speaker is most likely toast. Distortion usually = clipping (when the waveform sent to the speaker is over amplified and gets choppy, sending a square waveform instead of a nice smooth sine wave) this is realllllly bad for the voicecoil of the speaker and not repairable 99% of the time without replacing the speaker itself.

There is a teardown thread in the A7 General section that may be of use to you.

[Legend General] segphault:
I've just had to nandroid restore my /system partition to yesterday's backup due to ASProxy completely screwing over my internet settings. After configuring and activating the ASProxy service, I could utilise the WiFi proxy just fine. However, when I turned off the service it would seem that the proxy settings stuck and wouldn't budge, even if I removed them from ASProxy.

Is this because my Legend is S-ON, and I have not enabled aufs? Or do I have the complete wrong end of the stick?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
This proxy app has no control at all over the system partition, so restoring the system partition won't do much. I don't fully understand the problem though
[Legend General] segphault:
Basically, this;

I installed ASProxy and set up a WiFi proxy. I connected to the internet through the WiFi proxy which worked just fine. I then deleted the proxy settings and then the ASproxy service and I could not connect to the internet at all, through either WiFi or 2G/3G.

Restoring my /system from nandroid fixed the issue.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Well, now you don't seem to have a question.

After disabling the proxy did you change apn settings?
[Legend General] segphault:
I did not touch the APN settings throughout the entire process.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Ye, but this app of yours might have done
[Legend General] segphault:
This is true.

If I use the program again next time I'll check the APN settings before I nandroid.
[Legend General] ganesh3s3:
I too had the same problem.. All you had to do is uninstall asproxy and reboot the device.. It works..

how can i transfer my itunes music and audiobook library to htc hd2 without loss of album cover art?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Regardless of cover art or not, if it's DRM iTunes stuff from a couple years ago it's not going to play on your HD2 anyways unless you strip the DRM off of it.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
i dont think its got DRM, but not sure. anyway, what can i do to transfer all my itunes songs to my hct hd2?
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
connect your hd2 to your computer.... find the songs you want to transfer and drag and drop them on your sd card.... done :D
[HD2 General] koolxx:
conantroutman, i dont think you understand EXACTLY what i'm asking. i added cover art to my mp3 songs in itunes a while back. i want to be able to see all my albums in the hd2 phone. i dont want to see a song in the phone without its album cover. will the album cover art stay intact with the songs when i transfer them to my hd2?
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
ok sorry, I kinda missed that part......

Itunes cover art will not carry over, however some of your albums will sync the artwork via the option in the sense music player, the rest you will need to do manually.

There is a thread somewhere that explains how to set images as the cover art for your albums.

Hope that helps.

Doubletwist? :o

it's the alternative to iTunes. Dun worry, it will sync album art, even if you can't see it at first.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stirkac:
hi everyone you might know me from HD2 scenes, well i got another toy to play with :) it's brand new HTC diamond(!!!!!) from local store which hadn't sold everything out from 2008 lol i needed backup phone, so i bought it for 50 euros(lol) :) and ive got 2 years of warranty xD

kinda cool to see how little htc actually envolved during 2 years(diamond-->leo).. apart from screen size and technology..well not actually that much difference. i find diamond build with alot more passion:) like...-glowing wall adapter, phone when charging, ringing, sms..(nice effect), button backlight turns on on light touch, cool back cover, stylus gets sucked in...

well after a day i'm all into games like COD2, THPS2(i had to use cotulla's wvgafix before, and no hw arrow pad)...vga on such screen is mind blowing:P

i flashed energyrom yesterday, didn't impress me really :/ stock was much faster.

to make long story short, what else can i try on this htc masterpiece? :)

thank you :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndyFZ1S:
I have a HD2 and use Diamond as work phone, I installed Advanced config v3.3 which has lots of tweaks etc, and Touchflo 3d config which has a couple of tweaks as well as an easy way to install themes, Other than that I have just searched alot and found various icon sets and task bars, Clean Ram is another great app for freeing up memory seeing as the diamond has only 192mb lol, Net CF 3.5 is a good app that allows installation of most apps,Getting rid of the curtains on Home screen is cool as well as a Black clock and doing away with the touchflo 3d Blocks wallpaper, As I said Its out there if you look hard enough, Have fun.......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grandma90:
Look up DiamondTF3D Config. Its a very nice application wich allows you to modify out TouchFlo3D in any was possibile. For starters , i like the "flip to silent" option. If your phone rings while the display is pointed upwards , and want to rapidly silence the ringtone , flip the phone and it will silent itself up. It`s mindblowing , believe me.

Try getting a nice GPS for it , like IGO8 or Garmin , and hook it up on your car. Personally i preferr IGO8 because it is more accurate. More than that , your headset comes with QuickGPS application that requires a weekly update (and notifies you when needed) to keep the maps up-to-date. It also has Pedestrian Option , and i had alot of fun with it with a friend when testing it. We started the software and began running like idiots around the block to see just how accurate it really is. You`d be amazed , it is capable of foreseeing your actions and ploting a trajectory , even showing you your speed as you are walking/running. Heh!

The factory music player is exceptional. Doesn`t drain alot of your PSU energy (i have a 1000mAh PSU wich last long enough to get me through the day , despite Diamonds batery life issues)...The Audio Booster is very handy togheter with the good ol` HTC headphones (probablly the only pair of headphones that fit in my gigantic ears and won`t fall out!)

It`s 4 GB internal storage. I`m happy with it , cannot manage to fill it up!

As you said , the stylus gets sucked wich is very handy in avoiding its loss! Moreso, the stylus sticks to the metal strip surrounding the body of the phone! I use this thing when browsing the internet and get caught up with something else , finding myself sticking it on the outside rather than shoving it in the phone like a bloddy rapist ^^

The Windows Mobile 6.1 has TouchFlo3D , the Windows Mobile 6.5 has Sense 2.1/2.5;

Though different in functionality , the both work on the same principle (i personally preferr 6.5 because it`s more finger friendly than 6.1 , though i would not recommend flashing it without exceptional skills in headset personalisation.I`ve heard people with Diamonds that flashed it cause the headset to brick! Service centers request obscene fees if you want to repair it , or , to make it worst , they refuse to do it because you would , most likely , download a 6.5 ROM from this forum , wich is un-official ;) )

It took me 2 weeks to learn all the mind-jizzing things this little headset can do!

And just recently descovered the music player progress bar scrolling by doing a circular motion on the outer bounds of the Enter Button! (yeah , impressive how some find this thing magical!)

Good luck with your exploration! I won`t give it for any other headset (maybe for a better HTC version)
